Be certain to supply firewood fuel for grain grinding before the ice breakup [and only in the most extreme case, if with the personal responsibility of the chairman of the provincial executive committee it is established and substantiated in a report to the Council of Defense the impossibility of ensuring grinding with firewood — expend the existing reserve of oil at the mills] **.
